Tandem

The news that you're expecting the birth of a child is one of the most exciting moments in your life. However, once the excitement of the beginning fades and reality begins to sink in, you could be faced with a myriad of choices regarding how to prepare your family for the arrival of your baby one or ones. One of the most important considerations is choosing the correct pram or pushchair.

Tandem prams (also known as 'in-line' double prams) are a timeless design with two seats or pram bassinets that are arranged side by side. The front seat, which is typically cushioned, reclines flat and is suitable for newborns. The second seat is a bit higher and designed to fit toddlers as young as three years old. Some models come with the option of reversible seating, which lets you decide if your children face each other or look out at you. Many tandems can be converted to a single pushchair when your oldest child is no longer required to have the second seat.

A tandem is less expensive than a twin pram and can be a great option for parents who want to save money, without compromising safety or functionality. A tandem can be a bit heavy and difficult to steer, especially when you're tripping over curbs. It's also less stable than twin prams especially when a bigger child is seated in the front. A tandem can also be tricky to transport on public transport, and it can be difficult to navigate on narrow roads.

The iCandy Peach, a popular model that is focused on image, is a great option for parents with one child who want an attractive appearance. However the tandem mode makes it feel long and heavy to push. It comes with a frame that expands in width to accommodate the second seat. It can be used with a variety of combinations of buggy seats, car seats, and carrycots (two at one time or in separate). The iCandy Wave is another lightweight tandem option that's simple to use and compatible with a range of car seats and carrycots.

Side by side

There are a lot of things to take into consideration when selecting a double pushchair or pram. If you're buying for twins or siblings who are close in age there are a variety of configuration options to consider. Tandem prams (also called side by sides prams) are a popular choice because they can be set up to accommodate infants with a bassinet on top while the older toddler or infant sits in the seat below.

Some models even have reversible seats, which means you can modify the seating to your family's requirements throughout the baby and toddler years. This lets you keep your little ones always in your sights and gives them a chance to get to know each other while they walk.

Tandem prams can be jogging buggies, or all-terrain buggies. They are perfect for outdoor excursions, like to the park. These are also good for narrow aisles and checkouts in supermarkets and shops, as they are more compact.

The Redsbaby JIVE3 Pram, for instance, can be used as a tandem pram starting from birth in dual mode, with the addition of the rumble seat (PS249). When your child grows out of the rumble chair you can change to the single pram mode. You can also opt to use the adaptors for car capsules to convert it from a newborn to toddler travel system.

The Side by Side Pram by Babybee is a different alternative. This double side-byside pram comes in a variety of colors and is designed with a modern style. It is designed to be used from birth, you can include the LUNA Cocoon for newborns (PS262) and the LUNA Infant Seats (PS53 each).

The Egg 2 is a stylish, sleek pushchair that can be transformed into a double side-byside. It is available in a variety of carrycots and infant seats to accommodate twins or siblings with different ages. It is also super-easy to fold. It's also relatively lightweight making it an ideal option for those who have small cars or only a little storage space.

Convertible

The top double prams and pushchairs can be used in a variety of ways and some are capable of changing seating configurations to meet your family's changing needs. You can accommodate up to three children on the seat board, or two toddlers in the seats and still have enough space to carry a shopping bag. Accessories such as rain covers are also available. In general, convertible double strollers are more spacious and heavier than single pushchairs due to the fact that they are required to be able to accommodate two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow is one example of a convertible that is affordable which is very user-friendly, but our test subjects felt it was a bit heavy for the price.

Some double strollers that can be converted into convertibles like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 come with a carrycot suitable for infants. This allows the double stroller to be folded down and reduced in size when not being used. Our test subjects were awed by the City Select's unique one-handed fold. However, it requires a bit of practice. It is also quite responsive and nimble even despite its size.

Another option that is reasonably priced is an affordable option is the Cybex Mockingbird Single-to-Double Stroller. The seat can be transformed from a parent-facing infant car seat to an forward-facing toddler seat. The bassinet-style mode is a great choice for infants.

If you're looking for more flexibility look into a convertible with dual modes like the iCandy Peach. It's a compact double stroller that can accommodate two children side-by-side. It can be used to create a tandem by incorporating a second seat kit. It's nimble and responsive and our testers loved its sleek design. It's not as light as some of the other pushchairs we've reviewed however, it comes with an ample shopping basket that is handy for parents carrying bags of toys and food.

Lightweight

Convertible double strollers are an excellent option for parents who have children and anticipate the arrival of a second. The iCandy Peach can be converted from a single pushchair double by the addition of a toddler's seat, or the brand's carrycot (which works well for overnight sleeping). Our testers noted how comfortable the seats are and love the fact that they both recline to different positions, have built-in leg and foot supports and have UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out. The rear seat can also be lifted high to offer a standing platform for the older child to climb on and off, so that they can reach things in the basket of groceries.

Cher said that the only negative aspect of the iCandy Peach was its weight. But she felt this was offset by the fact that it is easy to move and has plenty of storage and cup holders for parents and their children seats-back pockets, as well as a large basket under the seat. She also liked the fact that the seats are adjustable, meaning they can be placed to face one another for siblings that want to talk and get together while out and out and about.

The Delta Children LX Side-by-Side Stroller is a less heavy option and still impressive. It weighs just 18 pounds, is lightweight and features an auto-standing fold, making it simple to carry around or put in your trunk. Parents love the quality of materials and workmanship, as well as the cost. The only issue is that the seats don't recline as far as some other models we've examined and the back seat doesn't have great visibility due to its positioning as it's higher than the front seat.

Another popular choice is the Joolz Geo 3, which is slim and sleek. It is also easy to steer, and comes with an attractive design and a lifetime guarantee. It is important to remember that, despite their slimmer design side by side prams are still wider than tandem and in-line doubles. They can be tricky to navigate on busy streets or in shops. They are also shorter, making them easier to maneuver in tight spaces.
